GABORONE, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) A soaring number of people in Botswana s COVID-19 epicenter who seek to travel outbound has put health authorities on high alert.
Botswana s Presidential COVID-19 taskforce Tuesday said it has been a worrying trend that those who seeking interzonal travel permits are from high-risk zones, especially the greater Gaborone area.
In one of the last few days, the online travel permit system showed that over 150,000 people had active permits and have traveled outside their zones, said Dr. Mosepele Mosepele, the deputy coordinator of the taskforce team. This was a clear indication that people are ignoring the advice from health authorities to minimize traveling during the Christmas holiday period, he said.
